Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Folignus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nash Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Folignus's entrance music is Laces Out. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Nick Folignus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nick Folignus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
